Part A Isabel has turned down two job offers in the past year. In 2006, she started her own consulting practice, but by 2008, most of her larger clients had to drop her because of the economy. In 2011, she was undertaking irregular assignments and knew she needed a steady job. The first job she considered was Director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm's culture. She directed Isabel to several videosof the company's CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale building exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same. "Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn't do that," Isabel says. She called the recruiter to turn down the job and explained that she didn't feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she interviewed for another job: a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives : it was a low-stress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employee-friendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn't be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down. "It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night," she says.In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn't taking the jobs."In the past, it felt like dating, I was worried about hurting people's feelings," she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.26. In 2011, Isabel_______A. did consulting now and thenB. found a job close to her homeC. refused several job interviewsD. ran a successful consulting firm27. Isabel turned down the first job offer mainly because of its_______A. CEOB. cultureC. locationD. recruiter28. Isabel was dissatisfied with the second job due to its_______A. junior rifleB. low benefitsC. EnvironmentD. lack of challenge29. Isabel believed that her rejection of the jobs was______A. harmfulB. surprisingC. justifiableD. troublesome30. According to Isabel, it is important to______A. look for jobs with little stressB. look for jobs with great benefitsC. be truthful in declining job offersD. be cautious in declining job offersText 2You do not usually get something for nothing. Now, a new study reveals that the evolution of an improved learning ability could come at a particularly high price: an earlier death.Past experiments have demonstrated that it is relatively easy .through selective breeding to make rats, honey bees and-that great favourite of researchers-fruit flies a lot better at learning. Animals that are better learners should be competitive and, thus, over time, come to dominate a population by natural selection. But improved learning ability does not get selected amongst these animals in the wild. No one really understands why.Tadeusz Kawecki and his colleagues at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland have measured the effects of improved learning on the lives of fruit flies. The flies were given two different fruits as egg-laying sites. One of these was laced with a bitter additive that could be detected only on contact. The flies were then given the same fruit but without an additive. Flies that avoided the fruit which had been bitter were deemed to have learned from their experience. Their children were reared and the experiment was run again.After repeating the experiment for 30 generations, the children of the learned flies were com- pared with normal flies. The researchers report in a forthcoming edition of Evolution that although learning ability could be bred into a population of fruit flies, it shortened their lives by 15%. Whenthe researchers compared their learned flies to colonies selectively bred to live long lives, they found even greater differences. Whereas learned flies had reduced their life spans, the long-lived flies learned less well than even average flies.The authors suggest that evolving an improved learning ability may require a greater investment in the nervous system which takes resources away from processes that delay ageing. However, Dr. Kawecki thinks the effect could also be a by-product of greater brain activity increasing the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which can increase oxidation in the body and damage health.No one knows whether the phenomenon holds true for other animals. So, biologists, at least, still have a lot to learn.31. Past experiments prove selective breeding can make animals better_______A. CommandersB. CompetitorsC. survivorsD. learners32. In this experiment, scientists observed that________A. some flies avoided the fruit without an addictiveB. some flies preferred the fruit with an addictiveC. the eggs of the flies were not damagedD. the impact on the flies did not last long33. The forthcoming report says that_______A. long-lived flies are better at laying eggsB. long-lived flies are poorer in learningC. learned flies have a relatively long lifeD. learned flies live as long as average ones34. According to Dr.Kawecki, greater brain activity______A. reduces oxygen consumptionB. regulates the nervous systemC. speeds up the ageing processD. stabilizes the ageing process35. We learn from the text that_______A. the research findings need to be tested furtherB. biologists are doing similar research on other animalsC. the animal world usually follows the same universal lawsD. biologists are applying their findings to other areas2016年3月全国英语等级考试三级真题(阅读Part A)真题答案：26．A 27．B 28．D29．A30．C31．D32．A33．B34.C35．A。

They settled in at a comfortable East Slide caféand within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news ofMississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”Sitting on a soda in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.5．What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?A. Two strangersjoined her．B.

It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and becausethese are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit,including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale,near Faversham in Kent.8.What can people do attheapple events?A .Attend experts’lectures．B .Visit fruit-loving families．C .Plantfruit trees inan orchard．D. Tastemanykinds ofapples．9.What can welearnaboutDecio?A.Itisanew variety．B.It has a strangelook．C. Itisrarely seen now．D.Ithas a specialtaste．10. Whatdoesthe un derlined phrase““a pipe dream””in Paragraph 3mean?A.Apracticalidea．B. A vain hope．C.A brilliant plan．D. A selfish desire．11.Whatisthe author’s p urpose inwritingthe text?A.To showhowto grow apples．B .Tointroduce an applefestival．C.Tohelppeople selectapples．D. Topromoteapple research．DBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discov ering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the Univer sity of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails，Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set ofnews stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mai led” list for six months. One of his first finds was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”12 .Whatdothe classic rulesmentionedinthetext apply to?A.News reports．B. Research papers．C .Private e-malls．D.Daily conversations．13. What canweinferaboutpeople like DebbieDowner?A.They’re sociallyinactive．B.They’re good at telling stories．C.

已完成 3月全国英语等级考试三级真题及答案(阅读a)教案资料
Part A Isabel has turned down two job offers in the past year. In 2006, she started her own consulting practice, but by 2008, most of her larger clients had to drop her because of the economy. In 2011, she was undertaking irregular assignments and knew she needed a steady job. The first job she considered was Director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm's culture. She directed Isabel to several videosof the company's CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale building exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same. "Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn't do that," Isabel says. She called the recruiter to turn down the job and explained that she didn't feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she interviewed for another job: a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives : it was a low-stress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employee-friendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn't be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down. "It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night," she says.In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn't taking the jobs."In the past, it felt like dating, I was worried about hurting people's feelings," she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.26. In 2011, Isabel_______A. did consulting now and thenB. found a job close to her homeC. refused several job interviewsD. ran a successful consulting firm27. Isabel turned down the first job offer mainly because of its_______A. CEOB. cultureC. locationD. recruiter28. Isabel was dissatisfied with the second job due to its_______A. junior rifleB. low benefitsC. EnvironmentD. lack of challenge29. Isabel believed that her rejection of the jobs was______A. harmfulB. surprisingC. justifiableD. troublesome30. According to Isabel, it is important to______A. look for jobs with little stressB. look for jobs with great benefitsC. be truthful in declining job offersD. be cautious in declining job offersText 2You do not usually get something for nothing. Now, a new study reveals that the evolution of an improved learning ability could come at a particularly high price: an earlier death.Past experiments have demonstrated that it is relatively easy .through selective breeding to make rats, honey bees and-that great favourite of researchers-fruit flies a lot better at learning. Animals that are better learners should be competitive and, thus, over time, come to dominate a population by natural selection. But improved learning ability does not get selected amongst these animals in the wild. No one really understands why.Tadeusz Kawecki and his colleagues at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland have measured the effects of improved learning on the lives of fruit flies. The flies were given two different fruits as egg-laying sites. One of these was laced with a bitter additive that could be detected only on contact. The flies were then given the same fruit but without an additive. Flies that avoided the fruit which had been bitter were deemed to have learned from their experience. Their children were reared and the experiment was run again.After repeating the experiment for 30 generations, the children of the learned flies were com- pared with normal flies. The researchers report in a forthcoming edition of Evolution that although learning ability could be bred into a population of fruit flies, it shortened their lives by 15%. Whenthe researchers compared their learned flies to colonies selectively bred to live long lives, they found even greater differences. Whereas learned flies had reduced their life spans, the long-lived flies learned less well than even average flies.The authors suggest that evolving an improved learning ability may require a greater investment in the nervous system which takes resources away from processes that delay ageing. However, Dr. Kawecki thinks the effect could also be a by-product of greater brain activity increasing the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which can increase oxidation in the body and damage health.No one knows whether the phenomenon holds true for other animals. So, biologists, at least, still have a lot to learn.31. Past experiments prove selective breeding can make animals better_______A. CommandersB. CompetitorsC. survivorsD. learners32. In this experiment, scientists observed that________A. some flies avoided the fruit without an addictiveB. some flies preferred the fruit with an addictiveC. the eggs of the flies were not damagedD. the impact on the flies did not last long33. The forthcoming report says that_______A. long-lived flies are better at laying eggsB. long-lived flies are poorer in learningC. learned flies have a relatively long lifeD. learned flies live as long as average ones34. According to Dr.Kawecki, greater brain activity______A. reduces oxygen consumptionB. regulates the nervous systemC. speeds up the ageing processD. stabilizes the ageing process35. We learn from the text that_______A. the research findings need to be tested furtherB. biologists are doing similar research on other animalsC. the animal world usually follows the same universal lawsD. biologists are applying their findings to other areas2016年3月全国英语等级考试三级真题(阅读Part A)真题答案：26．A 27．B 28．D29．A30．C31．D32．A33．B34.C35．A。

They settled in at a comfortable East Slide café and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table. “Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?”the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news ofMississippi,”Welty said. “I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”Sitting on a soda in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story. 5．What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?A. Two strangersjoined her．B. Her childhood friends came inC. Aheavy rain ruined the dinner．D．Some people held apartythere.6 .The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s__A.readers B parties C.friendsD stories7. Whatcanwelearn aboutthecharactersinWelty’s fiction?A. Theylivein bigcitiesB．TheyaremostlywomenC. Theycomefrom reallifeD．Theyare pleasure seekersCIf you are a fruit grower —or would like to become one —take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit,including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale,near Faversham in Kent.8.What can people do attheapple events?A .Attend experts’lectures．B .Visit fruit-loving families．C .Plantfruit trees inan orchard．D. Tastemanykinds ofapples．9.What can welearnaboutDecio?A.Itisanew variety．B.It has a strangelook．C. Itisrarely seen now．D.Ithas a specialtaste．10.

A selfish desire．11.Whatisthe author’s p urpose inwritingthe text?A.To showhowto grow apples．B .Tointroduce an applefestival．C.Tohelppeople selectapples．D. Topromoteapple research．DBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morningpapers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discov ering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the Univer sity of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think o f you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails，Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mai led” list for six months. One of his first finds was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or thatinspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”12 .Whatdothe classic rulesmentionedinthetext apply to?A.News reports．B. Research papers．C .Private e-malls．D.Daily conversations．13. What canweinferaboutpeople like DebbieDowner?A.They’re sociallyinactive．B.They’re good at telling stories．C.
