练习:
I love reading novels, especially those classics. My favorite writer is Jane Austen, the one who wrote pride and prejudice. When BBC screened its latest adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel pride and prejudice, it was watched by a record 18 million British viewers. The series was then sold to 18 countries round the world, from America to Australia, from Iceland to Israel, there are Jane Austen fans in all corners of the globe, and even special Jane Austen discussion groups on the internet.
Jane Austen never once traveled aboard in her life time and she hardly ever left the south of England. When she died a spinster in 1817, only four of her six novels had been published, all anonymous and she eared a grand total of 648.65 pounds from her books. Now, nearly 200 years later, sales of her novels rival modern bestsellers, reaching 35,000 a week. There have been film and television productions of not only pride and prejudice, but also Emma, Persuasion, and the Oscar-winning Sense and Sensibility. Her house in Chawton in Hampshire is visited by 200 people a day.
She wad born in 1775, the seventh of eight children. Her father was the reverend George Austen. They were not well off, and lived in a village. By the time when she was 12, Jane was writing
stories about heroines imprisoned in haunted castles, being rescued by glamorous heroes. In Jane’s own life there were three romantic attachments. The first was a handsome Irish law student called Tom Lefroy, who she met in 1795, but who had to return to Ireland a year later. The second, in 1801, was a young man called Samuel Blackall who she fell in love with when on holiday in Devon, but who tragically died suddenly soon after. The third was a large young man called Harries whose proposal she briefly accepted in 1802, “but he had nothing to recommend him but his size,”so she changed her mind.
In 1801 the family moved to Bath, where she was very unhappy. To make matters worse, in 1805 her father died, leaving his widow, Jane and her only sister Cassandra, also unmarried, even poorer than before. For four years they had to move from house to house, often staying with relatives. Finally in 1809 her brother Edward allowed them to live in a house on his estate in Chawton, only a few miles from Steventon where she had grown up. Here she was much happier, despite being the poor relation, dependent on charity. She not only revised her earlier novel but was able to write new ones, using her experiences to satirize and make fun of the social inequalities she saw around her. At last in 1811, Sense and Sensibility was the first of her novels to be published.
参考译文：
我喜欢看小说，特别是那些精典名著。
我特别喜爱的一个作者是简.奥斯丁。
她写过一部小说叫《傲慢与偏见》。
当BBC(英
国广播公司)上映简.奥斯丁的《傲慢与偏见》小说的最终改写本时，当时创下了1800万英国观众的收看记录。
之后，一系列的丛书出售到全世界18个国家，从美国到澳大利亚，从冰岛到以色列，全世界到处到有简.奥斯丁的狂热书迷，甚至在互联网上还有专门的简.奥斯丁的讨论组。
简.奥斯丁在她的生活中没有出过一次国，甚至从末离开过英国的南部。
在1987年她过世的时候，还是个末婚女子，她的六部小说只有四部已经出版，并且全部是匿名的，她只挣到了共648.65英镑，这就是她小说的全部酬劳。
如今，也就是此后将近200年后，她小说的销售商击败了当今的推销员，每星期可达到35000英镑的收益。
已经成为电影、电视出版物的不仅仅是《傲慢与偏见》，还有《埃玛》、《劝导》、还有奥斯卡获奖作品《理智与情感》。
她在汉普郡Chawton的家，每天都不低于200人参观拜访。
简.奥斯丁出生于1775年，是家里八个孩子中的第七个。
她的父亲是受人尊敬的牧师乔治. 奥斯丁。
她们家不富裕，而且住在一个乡村里。
直到她十二岁的那年，简.奥斯丁一直在写关于女主人公被关押在魔鬼城堡的故事，直到被魅力英雄拯救出来。
在简的生命中，有三次浪漫的情感历程。
第一次，是与一个英俊的爱尔兰法律系的学生，名叫Tom Lefroy，她是在1795年遇到他的，但他不得不在一年之后返回爱尔兰。
第二次是在1801年，一个名叫Samuel Blackall的年青男子在德尔郡的假日里让她坠入爱河。
但是那个男子没过多久，突然悲惨地死去了。
第三次是与一个名叫Harries大个子年青人，在1802年他向她未婚的时候，她暂且允诺了他，“但是他除了他的架码之外，一无所长”，
于是她改变了主意。
1801年，她们家搬迁到了巴思，她在那儿过得非常不幸。
更为糟糕的是，她父亲在1805年撇下她们孤儿寡母撒手人鬟了，简和她同样未完婚的妹妹卡珊德娜比以前更加贫困。
四年以来，他们到处搬家，经常在亲戚家逗留。
终于在1809年，她的兄弟爱德华同意她们住进他在Chawton作为不动产的房子，只离她成长的Steventon这个地方几英里的距离。
在这儿她生活幸福得多，尽管是由贫弱的亲戚关系和依靠他们的施舍维系。
她不仅修正了她以前的小说，而且还创作出了新的作品。
用她个人的经历和见闻来嘲讽社会的不平等。
最终在1811年，《理智与情感》作为她的第一部小说被出版了。

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的公共英语等级考试三级阅读试题及答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!Every year for more than a decade I've gone with some good male friends to the music festi- val. Women are not invited, but they do prepare a picnic for our trip. The better the food, the more likely we are to continue our annual tradition and give them peace at least one week out of the year.When we're not eating, we sit around in circles and talk about manly stuff: women, mostly.After years of this special journey I have figured out women are different from us, especially when it comes to how we communicate. Women don't need to manufacture reasons to chat, but guys need excuses like outings or organized events.And I've noticed that when women are in groups there can be several conversations going on at once. When men are in a group, one man talks, and everybody else listens. It's like bluegrass jamming in a way; one musician plays the lead, and the rest try to follow.I've had more heartfelt conversations with other men at the festival than I've had at any other time in my life, partly because there are no women there, and partly because we're all a little drunk. It was males bonding over whatever parts we still had left. The festival is also the only place I've ever cried in front of other men.As the years have slipped by, some in our group have lost parents and grandparents, some have divorced, and others havechanged careers, not always on purpose. It seems that every year something distressing has happened to at least one member of our crew, and the rest of us are there to listen and offer support.I hope that this column can offer some comfort to women: if your man heads out on a bowling or poker night with the guys, be happy. Chances are good he's not fleeing you and the kids, but he's running toward the conversations he can only have with other men, and he'll come home the better for it.51. It is implied in the first paragraph thatA. the trip is a relief for both men and women________B. the trip will continue in spite of everythingC. the quality of the picnic needs improvementD. the women can rarely get peace themselves52. Men and women differ in the way they talk in that________A. men like to play the lead in conversationsB. women can strike up a talk for any reasonC. men can be engaged in several talks at onceD. women are good listeners in conversations53. That the author cried in front of other men reveals________A. the effect of bluegrass music upon menB. the effect of alcohol on men's behaviorsC. men's need to release their deep emotionsD. men's need to cultivate intimate friendship54. What is the idea that the author wants to convey in paragraph 5 ?A. Life is doomed to be full of distresses.B. Changes are the constant theme of life.C. Friendship stays despite changes in life.D. Life consists of sweating and harvesting.55. In the last paragraph, the author advises womento________A. encourage their husbands to improve their life styleB. encourage their husbands to go bowling or play pokerC. give their husbands chances to flee from houseworkD. give their husbands chances for male communication参考译文近十几年来，每年我都会和一些男性好友去参加音乐节。

英语等级考试pets3阅读练习 1Part BDirections:Read the following article in which five people talk about smoking. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G)given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Richard:In my opinion, smoking is only an amusement, like playing cards, reading, etc. Many years ago, when an adult handed me a cigarette and lit it for me, I felt grown up. When I am with friends and have nothing to say, we smoke, consequently we no longer feel embarrassed. Sometimes, I light a cigarette, suffering and nervousness vanishing with the smoke, I cant help saying inwardlv: Hello, cigarette, mv old friend. Im coming to meet you againStanton:Many people believe smokers have the fight to smoke. But they also believe that others shouldnt have to pay a price. The risk of tobacco smoke is greater than the risk of radon gas is to non-smokers. Were talking maybe 40 percent greater. And if youre talking about all the carcinogenic air pollutants that EPA regulates, its 100 times greater.Davis:According to our investigation, tobacco smoke in the home and workplace could be killing 46,000 non-smokers each year in the United States. Thats 3,000 lung cancer deaths,11,000 from other cancers and 32,000 heart disease deaths. That would make passive smoking the leading preventable cause of death in the United States after alcohol and smoking itself. Smoking kills 390,000 while alcohol 120,000.James :Passive smoking has become the principal battleground for the tobacco industry and its opponents in the 1980s. It is no longer merely a health issue, but political and environmental. Cigarette pollution is fouling the air. According to the Environmental Protection Agencys indoor air programs result, we know that the indoor environment is far more polluted than the outdoor environment. Weve seen that again and again wherever weve looked all over the United States.Winston:Sir, another fact about smoking is that cigarettes give people a good deal of pleasure. There is considerable evidence, surprisingly little publicized, showing that smoking produces certain beneficial effects in human beings. Smoking counteracts some decrease in efficiency, and smokers improve their performance in complex situations while smoking. There is also evidence showing that nicotine can produce a tranquilizing effect during high emotional and shock situations, while on the other hand stimulating concentration in tedious situations.Now match each of the items(36 to 40)to the appropriate statementNote: There are two extra statements.Statements36. Richard A. Passive smoking is the third preventable cause of death.37. Stanton B. Smokers have the fight to smoke.38. Davis C. Smoking produces some positive effects in some complex situations.39. James D. Second-hand smoke is more harmful to non-smokers than those cancer inducing air pollutants40. WinstonE. Cigarette pollution has caused outdoor environment even worse.F. Smoking can help people get rid of nervousness.G. Smoking is also an environmental issue.PartB下面是五个人对吸烟问题的不同观点。

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

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 videos of 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.1．In 2011, Isabel_________.A．did consulting now and thenB．found a job close to her homeC．refused several job interviewsD．ran a successful consulting firm正确答案：A解析：推断题。
公共英语三级pts3阅读试题及答案
Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way -- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes —about 60,000 in total —fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.小题1:The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______________.A.fitting roomsB.trading fairsC.business talksD.group meetings小题2:Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________.A.what caused the shipping accidentB.when and where the shoes went missingC.whether it was all right to use their shoesD.how much they lost in the shipping accident小题3:How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?A.By collecting information from beachcombers.B.By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.C.By searching the web for ocean currents models.D.By researching ocean currents data in the library.小题4:Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ___________________.A.traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB.making records for any lost objects on the seaC.running a global currents research associationD.phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea小题5:What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A.To call people's attention to ocean pollution.B.To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.C.To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.D.To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.参考答案及解析小题1:B小题2:C小题3:A小题4:D小题5:C试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。

2019年公共英语三级阅读理解试题（3）America is in no immediate danger of running out of water. People in the West have been aware that water is a precious commodity and must be conserved. In the damp East, an excess of water led to complacency until two factors created concern over our water supply. First, the periods of drought from the 1961 to 1966 in the Northeast affected crop production and used up the surface and ground water supplies. Second, attention was called to rapid increases in the rates of pollution of these waters resulting from increased urban and industrial growth. As a result, there is an increasing awareness of the need for conserving the quantity and quality of our nation’s water supplies.Water is a renewable resource, but it is not exhaustible. When used for municipal, industrial, or agricultural purposes, it is not destroyed, but generally finds its way back into our water supply. This used water now carries some waste materials. These dirty waters are often dumped into large bodies of water or are disposed of on land. In the latter instance, evaporation concentrates some of the wastes on the soil surface. On the other hand, water moving through the soil will eventually carry some of the wastes down into the ground water supplies, Eventually, all water evaporates and later returns to the earth as rain or snow in a relatively purer state.Through this never-ending cycle, there is just as much water in this country now as there ever was. The amount, however, does not increase. Our rapid population growth and our agricultural and industrial expansion have caused our water needs to soar. By withdrawing water from streams too quickly, we have in some instances upset the balance of nature’s built-in renewal processes for conserving water. As a result, some of our streams and lakes have become wet deserts. There is still plenty of water in them, but its water is so polluted that it supports almost no life at all.1.The passage is mainly about_____.A. water resources of the United StatesB. the renewal processes of water in matureC. the importance of water conservationD.water pollution in America2. The word drought in the sentence First, the periods of drought---ground water supplies. Most probably means_____.A. catastrophe of too much rainB. danger of running out of waterC. calamity dry weatherD. damage caused by typhoon3. Water is relatively purer in_____.A. fast moving streams and riversB. underground water suppliesC. mountainous areasD. rain and snow4. When the author says that lakes have become wet deserts,._____A. he is being angryB. he is being optimisticC. he is being sadD. he is being humorous5. It is implied in the passage that______A. water can be polluted by desertsB. there are many water conservation programs in AmericaC. water keeps evaporating from the earth’s surfaceD. water is not polluted by waster materials参考答案及解析1.C2.C3.D4.D5.C。
