Answer the questions on which test by choosingA ,B ,C,or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1WhenKatherine Chon was in fifth grade．she drew a“dream tree”erepresenting the path shehopedher life would take．One branch led to Harvard Medical School，Which isexactly what hermotherhad hoped for when the Chons moved to the U．S．from SouthKorea to give their three children opportunities．Always adiligent student，Katherine started to learn medicine at Brown．But then sheadded a new limbto her dream tree—one mat her mother still doesn‟t understand．Shocked bythe misfortune of some South Korean women，Katherine joinedforces with another Brown student to form the Polaris Project，now one ofthe largest anti-human-trafficking organizations in the country，“It wasreally hard for my parents，”says Katherine．“They had so many life stresses so their children could、get a greateducation and have a comfortable life．”Thedreams of parents and children often differ，but the conflict canbe especially painful infirst-generationimmigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices．Lisa Park，an assistantprofessor at the University of California，San Diego，says that：the focus ofevery family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for theirchildren is almost always on the future，with little mentionof the circumstances that compelled them to move．And even though the parentsare the ones working 12-hour days，the children ale also under intense pressure to perform in ways thatwill justify the parents‟ sacrifice．Thecontrast between parents‟ dreams andchildren‟s realities can be particularly sharp fordaughterswho have grown up with almost infinite opportunities．Theirmothers often came from placeswhere opportunities for women were limited，which makes thedaughters‟ choices even harder tounderstand．Mary Lugemwa‟s parents encouraged her to study math or science atHarvard．Shecomplied at first，majoring in computer science．But she is currentlyworking as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media．“I sometimesfeel guilty，”she says，“having chosen,to bean artist，because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background，I could helpmy parents a lot more．”46．WhenKatherine Chon was a fifth—grader，________．[A]shehad a great interest in drawing[B]she had a clear vision of her future[C]shehad an independent personality[D]she had a desire to study in the U．S．47．It can b e inferredfrom the text that Katherine‟s mother_______．[A]wasdisappointed at her daughter‟s decision[B]wasshocked by the suffering of some women[C]failedto give her kids enough opportunities[D]failedto realize her own dream to be a doctor48：According tothe text，in first—generation immigrant families，the parents feelfrustrated if[A]theyfail to adjust to the circumstances[B]theyare forced to make great sacririces[C]theirchildren fail to focus on the future[D]theirchildren develop against their wishes49．According toLisa Park，first—generation immigrant children_______．[A]avoidthe slightest mention of their parents‟ past[B]focuson seizing chances for future development[C]workvery hard to justify their parents‟ sacrifices[D]areunder pressure to fulfill their parents‟ dreams50．We learnfrom Mary Lugemwa‟s case that_______．[A]herparents cherished opportunities more than she did[B]herparents‟ dreams and her reality could bebalanced[C]shehad a quite different view of life from her parents[D]sheenjoyed infinite opportunities in career developmentText 2MothersAgainst Drunk Driving(MADD)has launched a new public awareness campaign aimedat Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler．“Enough is Enough”advocatesdropping the Criminal Code‟s blood alcohol concentration(BAC)limit from 0．08 to 0．05 percent，to“protectinnocent drivers on our roads．”MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks tllat lowering the BAC limitcould result in a 6-to-18 percent reduction in crash deaths．Butquestions have been raised about the science behind that campaign．MADDselectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the MentalHealthCentre．Mama，in turn，had gotthose numbers from two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden andAustralia．The conclusions in Mann‟s report seem to ignore the Swedish authors‟numerouswarnings and cautions，as well as the limitations in the Australian study．First，theAustralian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing，not loweredBAC levels，on fatal traffic crashes．Also．thatresearch was started in 1976 when“liquid lunches”were far morecommon．What‟s more．the Australian data varied：whereas the state ofQueensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD‟s Murie，inneighboring New South Wales，fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent．It isalso reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers inalcoholrelated fatal erashes are repeat offenders with BACs over 0．15percent-meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheelwith BAC levels twice the legal limit．not social drinkerswho consume a glass of wine or tw0．This makes MADD‟sconcern seem wasteful，given the downward trend in alcohol-related tramc deaths．TheCanada Safety Council，the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and theTraffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD‟s campaign．Even theOntario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean morework for police and the courts．But toMADD‟s Mu rie，the math question is simple：“If you lower BAClimits，regardless to whatlevel，you‟ll saveCanadian lives．”Unfortunately，the math doesn‟t quite add up．51．MADDlaunched a public awareness campaign in order to_______．[A]criticizethe Justice Minister[B]improve BAC measurement[C]restrictdrivers‟access to alcohol[D]revise the law regarding drunk driving52．From thetext we learn that MADD cites a report that________．[A]justifiesits new campaign[B]is favored by the authorities[C]sumsup major public concerns[D]is mentioned in two other studies53．It isimplied in the text that Mann‟s report is unreliable because_______．[A]itwas based on some unsound research[B]itgot its data from two inconsistent studies[C]itwas written in conditions no longer valid[D]itignored the limitations of the studies cited54．The textindicates that MADD‟s campaign_______．[A]willnot affect social drinkers[B]mayturn out to be of little value[C]isgoing to reduce governmental labor[D]haswon support from some organizations55．The writer‟sattitude towards the campaign is_______．[A]satirical[B]scornful[C]suspicious[D]supportiveText 3A recentstudy demonstrated how powerful a few words can be：Fortycompetitive tennis players were shown digital images of balls coming their way．Just beforeeach ball appeared，the players saw orheard comments like“Good shot”or“Bad shot．”The reaction times of players hearingnegativeremarks were measurably slower．And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistentgame and not make unforced errors．What isthe explanation? Negative feedbackweakens anyone‟s belief in his or her ability tosucceed．But if youcan hold on to a winning attitude，you‟ll make a greater effort and al so createpositivedrive．Confident people inspire others；opportunities seemto come their way more often．Theybecome magnets for success．Learnthe importance of giving yourself pep talks,and keep the voice in yourhead positive.The bestathletes，success is rarely due to raw talent alone．It‟s becausethey‟re simply better pre。

parents cherished opportunities more than she did[B]her parents’ dreams and her reality could be balanced[C]she had a quite different view of life from her parents[D]she enjoyed infinite opportunities in career developmentText 2Mothers Against Drunk Driving(MADD)has launched a new public awareness campaign aimed at Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler．“Enough is Enough”advocates dropping the Criminal Code’s blood alcohol concentration(BAC)limit from 0．08 to 0．05 percent，to“protect innocent drivers on our roads．”MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks that lowering the BAC limit could result in a 6-to-18 percent reduction in crash deaths．But questions have been raised about the science behind that campaign．MADD selectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the Mental Health Centre．Mama，in turn，had got those numbers from two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden and Australia．The conclusions in Mann’s report seem to ig nore the Swedish authors’numerous warnings and cautions，as well as the limitations in the Australian study．First，the Australian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing，not lowered BAC levels，on fatal traffic crashes．Also．that research was started in 1976 when“liquid lunches”were far more common．What’s more．the Australian data varied：whereas the state of Queensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD’s Murie，in neighboring New South Wales，fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent．It is also reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers in alcohol related fatal crashes are repeat offenders with BACs over 0．15percent-meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheel with BAC levels twice the legal limit．not social drinkers who consume a glass of wine or tw0．This makes MADD’sconcern seem wasteful，given the downward trend in alcohol-related traffic deaths．The Canada Safety Council，the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD’s campaign．Even the Ontario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean more work for police and the courts．But to MADD’s Murie，the math question is simple：“If you lower BAClimits，regardless to whatlevel，you’ll save Canadian lives．” Unfortunately，the math doesn’t quite add up．51．MADD launched a public awareness campaign in order to_______．[A]criticize the Justice Minister[B]improve BAC measurement[C]restrict drivers’access to alcohol[D]revise the law regarding drunk driving52．From the text we learn that MADD cites a report that________．[A]justifies its new campaign[B]is favored by the authorities[C]sum sup major public concerns[D]is mentioned in two other studies53．It is implied in the text that Mann’s report is unreliable because_______．[A]it was based on some unsound research[B]it got its data from two inconsistent studies[C]it was written in conditions no longer valid[D]It ignored the limitations of the studies cited54．The text indicates that MADD’s campaign_______．[A]will not affect social drinkers[B]may turn out to be of little value[C]is going to reduce governmental labor[D]has won support from some organizations55．The writer’s attitude towards the campaign is_______．[A]satirical[B]scornful[C]suspicious[D]supportiveText 3A recent study demonstrated how powerful a few words can be：Forty competitive tennis players were shown digital images of balls coming their way．Just before each ball appeared，the players saw or heard comments like“Good shot”or“Bad shot．”The reaction times of players hearing negative remarks were measurably slower．And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistent game and not make unforced errors．What is the explanation? Negative feedback weakens anyone’s belief in his or her ability to succeed．But if you can hold on to a winning attitude，you’ll make a greater effort and also create positive drive．Confident people inspire others；opportunities seem to come their way more often．They become magnets for success．Learn the importance of giving yourself pep talks, and keep the voice in your head positive.The best athletes，success is rarely due to raw talent alone．It’s because they’re simply better prepared．They stay focused，they’re willing to work as、hard as they need to，and they keep the positive voice in their heads switched on.Perhaps the most important aspect of being your own coach is to do what any outside adviser or a good parent．for that matter--would preach：practice，practice，practice．Avoid individuals who suck your energy and diminish your confidence．Hang out with the people who see you at your best．and remind you about it veryoften．Pessimists drag you down，as do whiners and critics．If there，s one winning behavior that people building confidence should model，it’s the willingness to get back into the game after a setback．Don’t nurs e your wounds.There are，however，important warnings．Panicking can compound a small misstep by causing you to lose your head and forget to think clearly．If you suffer a terrible loss，give yourself time to absorb the blow．Don’t deny the hurt or try to solv e the problem immediately．Gather your support system around you and simply get nurtured．Sitting around and thinking about your loss is the worst thing you can do to solve your problem．56．We learn from the first paragraph that_______．[A]excellent performance often goes with well-trained players[B]excellent performance often goes with positive comments[C]high-tech methods help players avoid unforced errors[D]high-tech methods increase players ‘competitiveness57．People who want to succeed should first imagine themselves to be_________．[A]an observer[B]an inspirer[C]a creator[D]a winner58．The phrase“pep talks”in Paragraph3 means’talks’which________．[A]encourage people[B]entertain people[C]impress people[D]interest people59．The writer thinks that you should keep company with those who______．[A]point out your mistakes[B]tolerate your weaknesses[C]emphasize your strengths[D]understand your complaints60．In" the face of a severe loss．the best thing you can do is to________．[A]deny the hurt[B]try to forget it[C]solve it at once[D]accept it calmlyPart BDirections：Read the texts from a magazine section called“Letters”in which five people commented on a special report on new medicines．For questions 61 to65，match the name of each person to one of the statements(A to G) given below．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1．Ann Best：Your special report on new medicines showed there is thrilling promise in future “cures” for so many diseases that threaten mankind．But how will" ordinary folks pay for these modem miracles?One drug company is hopeful that the savings involved in developing these medicines“ will translate into pure profit for investors．”This can only result in a problem for me：Shall I buy food，pay the rent or get the medicines I need?Tom Waken：As a citizen who has been critical of drug companies because of the high drug price，I found that your report about the new medicines has softened my stand．The companies say they have to charge more for their drugs so they can do research for better medicines．Now that I’ve read about the newer and better drugs，1 will gladly go on paying for my medications，knowing I am making a good investment in better living．Robert H．Kamm：We all want to live longer and healthier lives，but taking pills to rescue us from our self-abusive lifestyle only masks real problems and ends up costing us billions of dollars a year．We ought to be investing at。

2012年成人英语三级考试真题及答案中小学英语学习必备APPPart I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet。
Passage 1Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。
