but there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. it is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.46. the first paragraph points out that _________.{ a j it is possible to get an exact figure of the world s disabled people[ b ] there are many disabled people in the world[ c ] the number of disabled people in india is the greatest[ d ] india has not much more disabled people than canada47. the key word in paragraph 4 is _________.[ a ] barriers [ b ] ignorance[c] disability [d] prejudice48. the last word of the passage "counts" most probably means _________.[a] "is most important" [b] "is included"[c] "is considered" [d] "is numbered"49. which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?[a] there are about 10 percent disabled persons in the uk.[ b ] the whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.[ c ] even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.[d] there still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance.50. it can be concluded from the passage that _____ __.[a] we should try our best to prevent disablement[ b] we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled[c] the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled[d] both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down --text 2a small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. that s the finding of an extensive study of dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.the dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the longheld belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.heart disease is the nuinber-one killer in the united states, with more than 550,000 deaths oc- curring from heart attacks each year. but researchers previously have noticed that the incidence ( 发生率) of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than americans do. there are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the eskimos of greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.for 20 years, the dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.at the start of the study, the average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day with more men eating lean (瘦的) fish than fatty fish.during the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. the fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the japanese or eskimos. this relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or bloodcholesterol ( 胆固醇) levels.51. which of the following is not true according to the passage?[a] the dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.[ b] heart doctors won t call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day.[c] among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in america.[d] there is a low incidence of heart disease in such countries as japan and greenland.52. the phrase "this relationship" (in line 3, para. 5) refers to the connection between_________ and the incidence of heart disease.[a] the amount offish eaten [b] regular fish-eating[ c ] the kind of fish eaten [ d ] people of different regions53. the passage is mainly about _________.[ a ] the high incidence of heart disease in some countries [ b ] the effect of fish eating on people s health[ c] the changes in people s diet[d] the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures54. why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the united states?[a] because american people drink too much spirits.[b] because there are a great number of fat people there.[ c ] the author does n t give a definite answer.[d] because american people eat too much fatty fish.55. how many lives could probably be saved each year in the united states by eating fifth according to the dutch study?[a] 550,000. [b] 275,000.lc] 110,000. [d] 852.text 3being assertive ( 过分自信) is being able to communicate with other people clearly. if you felt that you had expressed what was important to you and allowed the oilier person to respond in their own way then, regardless of the final outcome, you behaved assertively. it is important to remember that being assertive refers to a way of coping with confrontations ( 对抗)。
全国英语等级考试(PETS)三级全真模拟试题二(5)
Text 3The aim of the teacher is to get his pupils as quickly as possible over the period in which each printed symbol is looked at for its shape, and arrive at the stage when the pupil looks at words a phrases, for their meaning, almost without noticing the shapes of these separate letters.When a good reader is at work, he does not look at letters, nor even at words, one by or however quickly; he takes in the meaning of two, three, or four words at a time, in a single moment. Watch carefully the eyes of a person who is reading, and it will be seen that they do not travel smoothly along the lines of print, but they move by jumps separated by very short stops. The eyes a very good reader move quickly, taking long jumps and making very short halts (停顿 ); the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly, taking only short jumps and stopping longer at each halt. Some times, when he meets a difficulty, he even goes backwards to see again what has already be looked at once.The teacher ' 9 task is therefore clear: it is to train his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one "eye jump") and remove the necessity forgoing backwards to read something a second time.This shows at once that letter-by-letter, or syllable-by-syllable (⾳节) , or word-by-word reading, with the finger pointing to the word, carefully fixing each one in turn, is wrong. It is wrong because such a method ties the pupil' s eye down to a very short jump. Moreover, a very. short jump too short to provide any meaning or sense; and it will be found that having struggled with three four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again, all together and in one group, in order get the meaning of the whole phrase.56. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the first paragraph?[ A ] Pupils should be trained to reach quickly the stage of reading without having toconcentrate on the separate symbols.[B] Pupils should look at each printed symbol for its meaning as well as for its shape.[ C ] Teachers should help their pupils avoid looking at the shape of the printed symbols.[D] Teachers should tell their pupils the different stages of their study.57. In a single moment, a good reader picks up_________.[ A ] several words [ B ] several phrases[ C ] several sentences [ D ] several lines58. According to the passage, which of the following is FALSE?[A] The eyes of a good reader make short halts and long jumps.[ B] The eyes of a bad reader take in the meaning of one word at a time.[ C] The eyes of a bad reader take only short jumps.[D] The eyes of a good reader move steadily.59. One may have to read something a second time if_________.[ A ] there is enough time [ B ] one reads too fast[ C ] the passage is very long [D] one reads word by word60. The main idea of the last paragraph is that _________.[A] word-by-word reading is highly inefficient[ B ] the pupil ' s eyes should focus on groups of syllables instead of single syllables[ C ] pupils have to move their eyes back and forth when reading[D] finger-pointing in reading helps the pupil concentrate on meaningPart BDirections:Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of marriage. For questions 61 to 65 , match name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.LisaSometimes I think that successful marriages are an endangered societal species. It seems as though every time I turn around, another couple I know is getting divorced. It' s a shame because marriage is very important. I believe that if people put more effort into making their marriages work, there would be fewer divorces. Marriage takes certain qualities to make it a success, such as responsibility and a sense of humor. If partners all understand this, more happy marriages will be maintained.WendyOne thing I think that is important to successful marriage is that you should not always think of yourself. My husband and I have stayed happily for about ten years. He makes me want to do things for him because of his generous nature. I know there are many times he would rather be reading, relaxing , or working on the car, but he only does something for himself when all the household chores are done and the kids have been taken care of. In return, I bake him all his favorite home-made cakes and cookies and try to go out of my way to do special things for him. I feel very fortunate to have married him.CatherineMy husband is my best friend, with whom I share most of my thought. We find it easy to talk about most things, so we don ' t have many secrets from each other. When my mother makes him upset , he tells me about it. Things like that are easier to deal with when they ' re out in the open than when they're kept inside. Thus, we have a very open, comfortable relationship.ArleneI feel sorry for what my divorced friends have lost. No matter how earnestly the former spouses try to "keep in touch", no matter how generous the visiting privileges for the parent who does not win custody of the children, the continuity of their lives has been broken. The years they spent together have been cut off from the rest of their lives; they are an isolated memory, no more integral to their past than a snapshot.KelicrThe very first trick to a happy marriage is to be a person of yourself who does not imagine a husband is necessary to make you magically complete. Successful partnerships are not between those who cannot live without each other, but between those who can live with each other. There is no room even in daydreams for the stupid idea that there is on earth only one mate intended for another.Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Lisa [A] Being unselfish is very important to make a marriage work.62. Wendy [B] Becoming a person of independence and pride leads tosuccessful marriage.[C] Being able to communicate makes our marriage happy.63. Catherine[D] Divorced people will live an incomplete life.[E] Marriage is the result of extended love.[F] Divorce results from a lack of responsibility.65. Keller [G] Divorces can be avoided.Section IV Writing(40 minutes)You should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66. You are to write a composition of about 150 words about Family Life in China. In the composition you should write about:1 ) difference between family life in China and family life abroad;2 ) pride of Chinese families on their hospitalities;3 ) unification of Chinese families.Part B67.

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。

Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything a stranin shades of green—In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully.

They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try toBirds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours.

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,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 fearThere are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, c., do not exist;and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, 公共英语3级(PET3)模拟试题the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics.

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.If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heartdisease 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 these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost likea tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of 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.公共英语3级(PET3)模拟试题The 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 stit is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.Of 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 much better off if smoking were banned altogether.Smoking can provide constant consolation.

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.

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:。
全国英语等级考试全真模拟卷第三级(附光盘)
全国英语等级考试全真模拟卷第三级(附光盘)全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1National English Test Level 3 - A Student's ViewWow, the National English Level Test Level 3! That sounds like a really big deal. I remember when my teacher first told our class about it. We had just finished our English lesson, and she said we would be taking this important test soon. A bunch of my classmates got really excited, but I was a little nervous. Tests can be scary, especially really important ones!My teacher could see some of us were worried, so she explained what the test was all about. She said it's a way for students like us to show how good our English skills are. The test has listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections to check all the different things we've learned in English class.The listening part sounded kind of fun. The teacher said we'd hear conversations and stories, then have to answer questions about them. In class, we always enjoyed the listening exercises, especially the funny dialogues. My best friend Lily and I would try to imitate the voices and make each other laugh.Then there's the reading section, which is about understanding passages. That doesn't sound too bad, since we read lots of stories and articles for homework anyway. Though I'm a little slower at reading than some of my classmates. I'll have to practice more.Writing is one part I'm kind of nervous about. We'll have to write a short essay on a topic they give us. Essays are hard! You have to organize all your thoughts and make sure your grammar and spelling are perfect. Miss Lee has been helping us practice timed writings though, so that should help.The speaking section might be the trickiest for me. We'll have to answer questions and describe pictures out loud. I sometimes stumble over words when I get nervous. But Miss Lee said the test instructors are really nice, so maybe that will help me relax. Plus, we've done lots of partner speaking activities to prepare.To get ready, Miss Lee had us do some practice test materials. They came with a CD too, so we could listen to the audio at home. The practice tests showed us what types of questions would be on the real test. There were multiple choice questions, fill in the blanks, and short answers. It was good practice, but some of the questions were pretty hard!A couple weeks before the test, my parents got me some other sample test books from the bookstore to work through. I spent a lot of time reviewing vocabulary, grammar points, and doing listening exercises with my headphones on. The more I practiced, the more confident I started to feel.Finally, the day of the big test came! A bunch of kids from other schools came to take it too. We all had to sit at desks spread out in the school auditorium. It was a little intimidating with so many people around. The nice test teachers passed out the test booklets and CDs, then explained very clearly how everything would work.The listening section was just as I expected - we heard conversations and stories through headphones, then had to answer comprehension questions. I missed a few, but I tried my best. The reading passages were interesting topics like animals and sports, which made them easier to understand. Phew, made it through those two sections!We took a short break before starting the writing section. I had a hard time coming up with ideas for my essay at first, but then I remembered the tips for brainstorming from class. Once I got my thoughts sorted out, the actual writing went pretty smoothly. Hopefully I organised it well enough!Then came speaking time. The teachers called students one-by-one into another room to do the speaking section. When it was my turn, I felt a little shaky but took a deep breath. The test teacher was so friendly and encouraging, which helped me relax a lot. We talked about some pictures, answered hypothetical questions, and did a role-play. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.Phew, after the speaking part was done, the whole test was finally over! I felt so relieved, but also proud for giving it my all. It was tough, but our preparation in class with Miss Lee really paid off. I can't wait to get my results back and see how I did. Hopefully I score high enough to get that fancy certificate!I'd definitely recommend the National English Test Level 3 to other students. It's challenging for sure, but taking it was a great way to show off all the English I've learned so far. Plus, it helped me get much more confident at reading, writing, listening and speaking. Maybe I'll aim for Level 4 next year - gotta keep leveling up those English skills! If I can make it through that tough test, I'll be like a real pro. Just call me the English master!篇2My Big Day for the English Test!Hi there! My name is Emily and I'm a 5th grader. Today was a super important day because I took the National English Proficiency Test Level 3 exam! I've been studying really hard for months to get ready. My parents and teachers told me this test is a big deal and shows how good my English skills are. I was a little nervous, but also excited to show off what I've learned.The test had four sections - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. We started with the listening part first thing in the morning. The nice test proctor played audio clips from a CD and we had to mark our answers on a special bubble sheet. Some of the questions asked us to listen for specific details, while others wanted us to get the main idea. There were conversations between kids and adults as well as lectures on topics like animals and vacations. I tried my best to listen really carefully!After listening, we moved on to the reading section. This part had lots of different passages - stories, advertisements, instructions, and more. We had to read each one and then answer comprehension questions about things like the main idea, vocabulary in context, making inferences, and author's purpose. The passages covered all kinds of subjects that kids might be interested in like sports, science experiments, and school events. My favorite was the funny story about a boy and his pet frog!By the time the reading section was over, it was lunchtime. We got to go outside and run around for a bit to rest our brains. Some of my friends were feeling tired, but I had brought an energy bar that my mom packed to refuel. After our break, it was time to tackle the writing tasks.For the writing portion, we had two assignments. First, we had to read a short prompt about an everyday situation and write a response of 100-120 words giving our opinion and reasons. The prompt I got was about whether kids should have set bedtimes or be allowed to go to bed whenever they want. I wrote all about how a regular bedtime schedule helps kids get the sleep they need to stay healthy and do well at school.The second writing task was harder. We were given a topic and some guiding questions, and then had to write an essay of 200-250 words developing our ideas with examples and details. My topic was "An Activity I Enjoy," so I chose to write about my favorite hobby of playing soccer. I described the equipment and rules, explained why I like the teamwork and exercise, and gave an example of scoring an exciting goal during my last game. Organizing and developing an whole essay in English was definitely challenging, but I tried my best!Last but not least was the speaking section. One at a time, we went into a private room and spoke our responses into a recording device while the proctor gave us prompts from the test booklet. First, I had to describe a set of pictures that told a story, like making sure to hit all the key details in my narration. Then I had to listen to a prompt and give my opinion, using reasons and examples to back up what I said. Finally, I got a hypothetical situation and had to propose a solution, again supporting my ideas with clear explanations.Speaking in English without stopping to think too hard was probably the most nerve-wracking part! But I took a deep breath each time and just tried my best to respond naturally and completely. When I finally finished that last speaking task, I was so relieved and proud of myself for making it through such a long, challenging test.Overall, the whole experience of taking the National English Proficiency Test Level 3 was pretty intense! My brain definitely feels a little fried after concentrating so hard for hours. But I'm really glad I prepared as much as I did by practicing tests from previous years, working on skills with my English tutors, and staying after school for extra help. Thanks to all that hard work, Ifelt mostly confident going into each section, even if some parts were tougher than others.Now it's just a waiting game until I get my scores back in a couple months! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I did well enough to prove my English abilities and get that certificate. No matter what though, I know I grew a lot as an English learner just by taking on this big challenge. Tests may be stressful, but they help show how far you've come and what to work on next. I'm feeling inspired to keep practicing my English skills through reading, games, movies, and conversations with native speakers.Whew, what a big day! I'd better go rest up now. Tackling that huge exam honestly knocked me out. But I'm so proud of myself for persevering through all those listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections. Wish me luck on a great score! Labors Cantantas Forever! (That's "Go Songbirds!" in Latin, my school's motto.) Thanks for letting me share my testing experience!篇3National English Level Test Time!Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to tell you all about the National English Level Test that Ijust took. It's a really big deal test that lets you see how good your English is compared to other kids across the whole country. The version I took was the Third Level, which is the level for upper elementary students like me.First off, let me just say - PHEW! I'm so glad that test is over. It was pretty tough, not gonna lie. But I studied really hard, so I think I did ok. My mom signed me up for this special English class to get ready. We did tons of practice tests and learned all kinds of strategies. I may have gotten a little sick of English by the end, but it was worth it!Ok, so the test had four sections - Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. The Listening part had different recordings that we had to listen to very carefully and answer questions about. Some were conversations between people, while others were talks or instructions. I had to use those funny-looking headphones that go over your whole ear. That part wasn't too bad for me since I love listening to English songs, shows, and movies.Then there was the Reading section where we had different passages to read - stories, advertisements, tables, you name it! The questions asked things like what the main idea was, what certain details were, or what vocabulary words meant in context.I read a lottt during my studying, so that helped me get faster at reading in English.Writing is probably the hardest part for me. We had to write a letter and an essay responding to different prompts. It's just so much work putting all the grammar rules together while trying to make your writing flow nicely and get your point across clearly. I made sure to leave time at the end to check over my writing.Finally, there was the Speaking section which was pretty nerve-wracking if I'm being honest. You have to go one-by-one into a separate room with a recording device. The questions came through headphones and you had to speak your responses out loud to get recorded. Topics could be anything - describing a scene, stating an opinion, retelling a story. I tried to speak slowly and clearly like we practiced. Hopefully I didn't say anything too silly!The whole test took almost three hours from start to finish which felt like forever to my short student attention span. We did get a couple short breaks, thank goodness. I just tried to shake out my arms and legs when I could to stay focused. I also packed a healthy snack to nibble on during the breaks.After it was all over, I just felt relieved and proud of myself for pushing through. My teacher said she was already proud ofus all no matter what our scores end up being. She knows how hard we worked. Though I must admit, I am really hoping I did well enough to earn a certificate!The best part is, the test came with a CD full of learning games, videos, songs, you name it! I love playing the cool English games and watching the funny videos. It makes practicing English feel way more fun than just reading textbooks all the time. I really think using that CD helped prepare me.Some of my friends are hoping their scores qualify them to participate in an English summer camp where you go stay overnight and do all kinds of fun English activities. That would be so awesome! Even if I don't get to go this year, I'll just study harder for the next level test.Anyway, those are all my thoughts on this huge English test I just conquered. It was definitely challenging, but also kinda exciting getting to showcase my English skills after working so hard on them. I'm just relieved it's over for now so I can finally read my English novels for fun again instead of just studying! Fingers crossed I did well. Wish me luck!篇4The National English Test Adventure!Hey there, friends! It's me, your pal Timmy. I've got the most exciting story to share with you all today. Brace yourselves for an adventure that will take you through the thrilling world of the National English Proficiency Test!It all started one sunny morning when I arrived at school, my backpack stuffed with pencils, erasers, and a rumbling tummy (I may have skipped breakfast for an extra few minutes of video games). Mrs. Robinson, our awesome English teacher, greeted us with her usual warm smile and a surprise announcement."Class, today we'll be taking the National English Proficiency Test Simulation Paper Level 3!"A collective gasp filled the classroom. Some of my classmates looked puzzled, while others wore expressions of sheer determination. As for me, well, let's just say I was somewhere in between – a little nervous but mostly excited!Mrs. Robinson handed out the test booklets, and the adventure began. The first section was all about listening comprehension. We put on our headphones and tuned in to dialogues and stories, trying our best to answer the questions that followed. I gotta admit, some of those conversations were pretty tricky! But hey, that's half the fun, right?Next up was the reading section. We tackled passages about everything from science experiments to tales of brave explorers. I found myself completely immersed in the stories, like I was right there alongside the characters, navigating through their adventures.Then came the writing part. We had to put our creative juices to the test and pen a short story or essay. Now, I won't lie – this was the part that had me sweating a little. But with Mrs. Robinson's helpful tips and a deep breath, I let my imagination run wild!Finally, we tackled the speaking section. One by one, we stepped up to the microphone and unleashed our English speaking skills. Some of us chatted about our hobbies, while others described their favorite places or fictional characters. It was like we were putting on our own little theater performance!After what felt like an eternity (but was probably just a couple of hours), we handed in our test booklets, feeling a mix of relief and accomplishment. Mrs. Robinson congratulated us on our hard work and promised to go over the answers together in the next class.As I walked home that day, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Sure, the National English Proficiency Test was no walk inthe park, but we had taken it head-on and given it our best shot. And you know what? That's what really matters!So, there you have it, my dear friends – the tale of my first encounter with the National English Test. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, challenges, and triumphs. But most importantly, it was an adventure that brought our class together, pushing us to explore the depths of our English skills.Who knows what other linguistic quests await us in the future? But one thing's for sure – with determination, hard work, and a sprinkle of fun, we'll conquer them all! Stay tuned for more exciting tales from the English-learning trenches!篇5The Big English Test Adventure!Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm a fifth-grader. I just had the craziest experience with this huge English test called the National English Proficiency Test Level 3. Let me tell you all about my big adventure!It all started a few months ago when my English teacher Ms. Roberts told our class that we'd be taking this really important test. She said it would show how good our English skills were inlistening, reading, writing, and speaking. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty nervous at first. Tests can be super scary, especially really long ones!But Ms. Roberts helped us get ready by giving us lots of practice tests and activities from this big blue book called the "National English Proficiency Test Level 3 Simulation." It had ALL sorts of listening exercises, reading passages, writing prompts, and speaking questions, just like the real test. We did practice tests what felt like a million times!My favorite sections were the listening and reading parts. The listening had these fun conversations between kids and there were always silly jokes or stories that made me laugh. The reading passages were really interesting too - they had articles about animals, different countries, hobbies, you name it! I learned so many new words and facts.I definitely struggled more with the writing and speaking sections though. For the writing, we had to write letters, essays, and all sorts of paragraphs. Making sure I used proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation was hard. Speaking out loud was even harder for me because I'm pretty shy. But Ms. Roberts had us practice giving speeches and having conversations until I got more comfortable.Finally, test day arrived! I was pretty nervous waiting in line, clutching my pencil case and my lucky teddy bear. But when I sat down and got my test booklet, I told myself "You got this, Emma!" because I had practiced so much.The listening section went by super fast. The conversations and stories were just like the practice ones, so I didn't get too flustered. Same with the reading - I kept reminding myself to read carefully and double check if I was unsure of an answer.Writing was still hard, but I took my time and reread the questions over and over. I made sure to plan out my essays and letters first before writing them out. Ms. Roberts always said the brainstorming step was just as important as the writing part.When it was time for speaking, I did get a little sweaty! But I looked at the friendly test grader, took a deep breath, and just pretended I was talking to my stuffed animals at home. I stated my answers clearly and threw in some of those transition words and idioms we had practiced.After what felt like AGES, the test was finally over! I was so tired but really proud that I had given it my all. While I waited for my results, I worked on even more practice tests from the Simulation book and its CD of audio files. I wanted to be absolutely ready in case I needed to take any sections again.A few weeks later, the scores came in the mail. I had passed all four sections!! I was overjoyed and gave the biggest hug to Ms. Roberts and my parents. All that hard work and practice from the National English Proficiency Test Level 3 Simulation had really paid off. The test may have been hard, but it was also an awesome, rewarding experience!So to all my fellow test takers out there - study hard, practice tons, and don't be nervous! If you prepare well with materials like the Simulation tests, you'll do wonderfully. Just think of it as one big, exciting English adventure! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go celebrate with some ice cream. Testing is tough work!篇6Hi there! I'm Sam, a 5th grade student, and I want to tell you about this really cool English test I took recently called the National English Proficiency Test Level 3. It was kind of like a big exam, but it was actually really fun!First off, we had to buy this big book and CD to prepare for the test. The book was filled with all kinds of practice questions and exercises to get us ready. There were reading passages, grammar drills, listening exercises, and even speaking practice. We used the CD to listen to the audio parts at home. My favoritesections were the dialogues – they were like little stories of kids my age talking about everyday things like school, friends, and hobbies.When the test day arrived, I was a tiny bit nervous, but mostly excited! We had to go to a special testing center with lots of other students. First up was the listening section. We put on headphones and listened to conversations, stories, and instructions. Then we had to answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. It was kind of challenging having to listen so carefully, but also pretty engaging with all the different voices and situations.After listening, we moved right into the reading part. There were passages about topics like science, narratives, and school life. The passages weren't too long, but there were a bunch of questions following each one that really made you think deeply about whatyou read. You had to identify main ideas, make inferences, figure out vocabulary from context, and more. It was a good mental workout!Then came the grammar and writing sections. These involved things like filling in blanks, rewriting sentences, and short answer writing. I'm not gonna lie - the grammar questions were pretty tough! You really had to know your verb tenses,sentence structures, and the nitty gritty details. The writing prompts weren't too bad though. We had to write a paragraph or two about common topics like our hobbies and experiences.Last but not least was the speaking section. We wentone-by-one into a room and spoke into a recorder. The tasks included introducing ourselves, describing pictures, androle-playing conversations. It felt a little weird talking to a machine at first, but I tried to just imagine I was chatting with a friend and it went smoothly.After almost four hours of awesomely exhausting English skills, the test was finally over! A few weeks later, I received my score report and...I passed! I earned a nifty certificate too. While the exam wasn't easy, I actually had a great time putting my English abilities to the test in all areas like listening, reading, writing, speaking, and even my grammar ninja skills. It felt like such an accomplishment.To anyone thinking of taking this test, I'd say go for it! It's challenging for sure, but also an amazing way to practice and showcase your practical English communication skills. Just study hard with those practice materials, don't stress too much, and most importantly - have fun with the language. Who knows, youmight just earn an English level up like I did! Let me know if you have any other questions!。
