1999年6月英语三级考试真题及答案
1999年6月英语三级考试真题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions There are four 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. Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.“High tech” and “state of the art” are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing(生产) system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early l980’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave(微波) ovens, etc.“State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is “state of the art” is the newes t possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.“State of the art” is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were “state of the art”.Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “state of the art” became common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.1. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell how “high tech” and “state of the art” have developed.B. To give examples of “high tech”.C. To tell what “high tech” and “state of the” are.D. To describe very modern technology.2.

The best title for the passage is __________A. Computer TechnologyB. High Tech and State of the ArtC. Mast Advanced TechnologyD. Two New ExpressionsPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Cheating: The income tax deadline (最后期限) approaches and some taxpayer’ s thoughts turn to it. Test time approaches and some students’ thoughts turn to it.“Y ou want something you can’t get by behaving within the rules, and you want it badly enough you’ll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret~ and you’re willing to run the risk of being caught.” That’s how Ladd Wheeler, psychology professor at the University of Rochester in New Y ork, defines cheating.Many experts believe cheating is on the rise. “We’re suffering a moral breakdown.” Pinkard says, “we’re seeing more of the kind of person who regards the world as a series of things to be dealt with. Whether to cheat depends on whether it’s the person’s interest “. He does, however, see less cheating among the youngest students.Richard Dienabier, Psychology(心理学) professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that society’ s attitudes account for much of the increase in cheating.“Twenty years age, if a person cheated in colleg e, society said: That is extremely serious, you will be dropped for a term if not kicked out permanently,” he says, “nowadays, at the University of Nebraska, for example, it is the stated policy of the college of Arts and Sciences that if a student cheats on an exam, the student must receive an “F’ on what he cheated on. That’s nothing. If you’re going to flunk anyway, why not cheat?”“Cheating is most likely in situations where the vital interests are high and the chances of getting caught are low~” says social psychologist. Lynn Kahle of the University of Oregon in Eugene.6. The passage centers on _________A. convincing the reader that cheating is immoralB. discussing the reasons for cheatingC. describing how students cheat on examD. discussing how to control cheating7. Cheating tends to occur when ________A. one wants something badlyB. one can’t get something in a right way.C. it is not very likely to be revealed.D. a series of things has to be dealt with8. Which of the following is true according to the~ passage?A. It is forgivable to cheat unless money is involved.B. There has been a quick increase in cheating.C. Most cheaters are college students.D. Cheaters do not feel guilty and regretful.9. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Cheating is widespread because society is too tolerant.B. cheating is the result of intense pressure.C. Cheating is cheating, whether on a test or on any other occassions.D. Cheating comes together with civilization.10. The word “flunk” in paragraph 5 could best be replaced by which of the following?A. FearB. FailC. Be pleasedD. SucceedPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that “Village life” is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline (衰落) about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can rememb er. What “village life” meant the early years of the present century? It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp —oil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long — established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high — level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life. “ It is just life, and that a better life.Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid —morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.11. By saying that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that _________A. those young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are wrongB the two statements are against each otherC. “village life” today is rather uninterestingD. “village life” today is no longer like what is used to be.12. It was _________ that “village life” began to take a sharp turn.A. about a century agoB. during the two world warsC. with electricity and motorcars introduced into the villageD. only recently13. As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past _________A. lived a simpler life than villagers todayB. knew fewer people than villagers today.C. found it difficult to enjoy themselvesD. liked to wash themselves with cold water.14. The expression “.... ” There is no point whatever in talking about in paragraph 3 means that _________A. there is no end to the talking about....B. It is harmful to talk about….C. It is not meaningless to talk about....D. there is no reason for talking about15. From the passage we can see that the writer’s attitude toward “village life” is ___________A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclearPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their on the equator (赤道), although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it. but as for the North Pole(北极)——we that it is not only a dangerously cold place, but that people like you and me would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only the scientists and explorers can do so, and they use special equipment. Men had been traveling across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole. So it may surprise you to learn that, when traveling by air, it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator. Of course, this is not true about landings in the polar region (which passenger aeroplanes do not make), but the weather, if we are flying at a height of 5,000 meters above the Pole, is a delight. At 4 000 meters and more above the earth you can always be that you will not see a cloud in the sky as far as the eye can reach. In the tropics (热带), on the other hand, you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18,000 or 20,000 meters.Aeroplanes can’t climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm. Nor can clouds. In practice, this is an advantage to the aeroplane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region and so does not need to climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.16. “Millions do it.” In this sentence “do it” refers to _________A. feeling uncomfortably hot on the equatorB. flying over the North PoleC. flying over the equatorD. making homes on the equator17. The polar region is ________A. a good place to land at by aeroplaneB. a good place to fly overC. difficult place to fly overD. a good place to live in18. It is a delight to fly at the Pole because there _________A. planes fly higher than at the equatorB. the eyes can reach about 4,000 metersC. planes are clear of bad weatherD. planes fly more quickly than at the equator.19. Aeroplanes can climb quickly ________A. in warm airB. in cold airC. when it reaches the polar regionD. only when the clouds are down low20. Aeroplanes usually do not need to climb quickly or fly high in the polar region because _________A. they do not land thereB. there are no clouds at allC. they can cross the ice with special equipmentD. it is very coldPart I V ocabulary and Structure (40%)Directions2 In this part there are 40 incomplete sentences.

1998年6月英语三级考试真题及答案
1998年6月英语三级考试真题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: There are four 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 remark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe (订阅) to as many as two or three newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings ——battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻) or killed ——took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same y they happen. Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories and, of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.Newspapers often have information on gardening, cooking and fashion as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons(漫画).1. The habit of reading newspapers is _________A. uncommon in the worldB. not popular in U. S. A.C. widespread in the worldD. founded among a few families2. A few hundred years ago news did not ________A. receive attentionB. travel fastC. spread to other countriesD. take long to reach other countries3. In the past, news was ________A. sent by telegraphB. passed from one person to anotherC. sent by letterD. sent by telephone4. The money spent on advertisements isA. wastedB. not muchC. worthwhileD. useless5. The section on jokes and cartoons is _________A. read only by childrenB. of no valueC. not helpfulD. read by manyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Pepys and his wife had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd, 1666. They were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o?clock on the Sunday morning, its glow had become so bright that Jane woke her husband to watch it. Pepys slipped on his dressing—gown and went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, o after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked, as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them.While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one; hundred houses had been burned down in the night and he fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up …on a high part of the b uildings so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a baker?s shop in Pudding Lane;the baker?s house had caught fire from the over —heated oven and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, so it is said, at Pie Corner.6. What is the passage about?A. The Great Fire of London.B. Who was the first to discover the fire.C. What Pepys was doing during the fire.D. The losses caused by the fire.7. They were up very late because ________A. it was Sunday morningB. they were not very sleepyC. they were preparing for the dinner.D. they saw the great fire start.8. What was Pepys doing when his wife told him about the fire?A. He was asleep.B. He was writing something.C. He was putting things back.D. He was looking out of the window.9: “Pepys slipped on his dressing gown. “ T o slip on meansA. to be wearingB. to be pushingC. to take offD. to put on10. Why did the flames spread quickly?A. The oven became very hot.B. The houses were close together.C. The baker did nothing to stop it.D. The baker?s house was burning quickly.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passagesA new report of the United Nations shows that, if the present growth rate of 2 percent per year continues, today?s world population of 5. 1 will hit 6.4 billion by the year 2000.What?s more, the great part of the growth ———9 of every 10 p~ added to the earth?s population ———will be in the poor and undeveloped countries. These are the nations where providing enough food for billions of people already is proving to be a headaching problem.By the year 2000,today?s “have not” nations will have a total population of 5 billion peo ple, nearly four fifths of the world?s population.Food isn?t the only problem that such a population explosion presents. The more people there are and the worse their living conditions, the greater grow the possibility of all kinds of social problems.In 1830, world population reached 1 billion. It took only 100 more years to add another billion to world population just 30 more to add a third billion. And it took just 15 more years to reach the 4 billion mark in 1975.Actually, the world?s birth rate is falling. But so is death rate, as medical advances have made it possible for man to live longer than before. Such advances have also reduced baby death rate. Unless population growth is reduced, the world population may reach 12 billion in a century. Is the earth capable of providing a good life for so large a population?11. A population explosion will lead to _________.A. a lot of social problemsB. medical advancesC. a decrease in food productionD. a worse life in every country12. It took _______year for world population to grow form 1 billion to 3 billion.A. 100B. 115C. 130D. 14513. By the year 2000, today?s ____ nations will have a total population of 5 billion people, nearly four fifths of the world?spopula tion.A. biggestB. AsianC. developingD. developed14. ________, the world may have a population of 12 billion ina century.A. If man can live longer in the futureB. If the science of medicine is developing fast enoughC. If the population growth is not reducedD. If the earth is able to provide a good life for more people15. This passage tells us that _________A. the United Nations thinks it possible to avoid a population explosionB. 5. 1 billion people are living in the undeveloped countriesC. in advanced nations the population growth is being controlledD. the world?s population is increasingPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers(消费者) will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most ———people with rising incomes, Stable incomes, or decreasing incomes ———he would probably answer, those with decreasing incomes. Actually years 1947—1950,the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomeswere next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions(假设) about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expresser by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. “In a few months,” she said, “we?ll have pay more for meat and milk; we?ll have less to spend on other things. “Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyer?s resistance may be produced. T his is shown by the following typical comment: “I just don?t pay these prices; they a re too high.”The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America; condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based ona correct understanding of consumer psychology(心理学)。

1999年6月成人三级真题
北京地区（1099年6⽉12⽇） College English Test Part I Reading Comprehension （40%） Directions There are four 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. "High tech" and "state of the art" are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech？ A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing（⽣产） system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early l980's. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave（微波） ovens, etc. "State of the art" is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is "state of the art" is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy. "State of the art" is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970's. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were "state of the art". Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression "state of the art" became common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be "state of the art". 1. What is the purpose of the passage？ A. To tell how "high tech" and "state of the art" have developed. B. To give examples of "high tech". C. To tell what "high tech" and "state of the" are. D. To describe very modern technology. 2. What can we infer from the passage？ A. American stores could provide new kinds of products to the people. B. High tech describes a technology that is not traditional. C. "State of the art" is not as popular as "high tech". D. A modern plough pulled by oxen is "state of the art 3. All the following examples are high tech except _________A. a microwave overB. a home computerC. a hand pumpD. a satellite 4. Which of the following statements is not true？ A. since the computer revolution, the expression "state of the art" has become popular. B. "State of the art" means something that is the best one can C. With the rapid development of computer technology, a state of the tart computer may easily become out of date. D. All kinds of products are "state of the art" nowadays. 5. The best title for the passage is __________A. Computer TechnologyB. High Tech and State of the ArtC. Mast Advanced TechnologyD. Two New Expressions Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage： Cheating： The income tax deadline （最后期限） approaches and some taxpayer' s thoughts turn to it. Test time approaches and some students' thoughts turn to it. "You want something you can't get by behaving within the rules, and you want it badly enough you'll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret~ and you're willing to run the risk of being caught." That's how Ladd Wheeler, psychology professor at the University of Rochester in New York, defines cheating. Many experts believe cheating is on the rise. "We're suffering a moral breakdown." Pinkard says, "we're seeing more of the kind of person who regards the world as a series of things to be dealt with. Whether to cheat depends on whether it's the person's interest ". He does, however, see less cheating among the youngest students. Richard Dienabier, Psychology（⼼理学） professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that society' s attitudes account for much of the increase in cheating. "Twenty years age, if a person cheated in college, society said： That is extremely serious, you will be dropped for a term if not kicked out permanently," he says, "nowadays, at the University of Nebraska, for example, it is the stated policy of the college of Arts and Sciences that if a student cheats on an exam, the student must receive an "F' on what he cheated on. That's nothing. If you're going to flunk anyway, why not cheat？" "Cheating is most likely in situations where the vital interests are high and the chances of getting caught are low~" says social psychologist. Lynn Kahle of the University of Oregon in Eugene. 6. The passage centers on _________ A. convincing the reader that cheating is immoral B. discussing the reasons for cheating C. describing how students cheat on exam D. discussing how to control cheating 7. Cheating tends to occur when ________ A. one wants something badly B. one can't get something in a right way. C. it is not very likely to be revealed. D. a series of things has to be dealt with 8. Which of the following is true according to the~ passage？ A. It is forgivable to cheat unless money is involved. B. There has been a quick increase in cheating. C. Most cheaters are college students. D. Cheaters do not feel guilty and regretful. 9. What can be inferred from the passage？ A. Cheating is widespread because society is too tolerant. B. cheating is the result of intense pressure. C. Cheating is cheating, whether on a test or on any other occassions. D. Cheating comes together with civilization. 10. The word "flunk" in paragraph 5 could best be replaced by which of the following？A. FearB. FailC. Be pleasedD. Succeed Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage： The young people who talk of the village as being "dead" are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know. No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that "Village life" is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline （衰落） about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember. What "village life" meant the early years of the present century？ It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp -oil and coal. Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long - established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make "village life" and "town life" almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high - level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about "village life. " It is just life, and that a better life. Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid - morning； or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street. 11. By saying that village is not dead, but "village life" is dead, the writer suggests that _________ A. those young people who talk of the village as being "dead" are wrong B the two statements are against each other C. "village life" today is rather uninteresting D. "village life" today is no longer like what is used to be. 12. It was _________ that "village life" began to take a sharp turn. A. about a century ago B. during the two world wars C. with electricity and motorcars introduced into the village D. only recently 13. As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past _________ A. lived a simpler life than villagers today B. knew fewer people than villagers today. C. found it difficult to enjoy themselves D. liked to wash themselves with cold water. 14. The expression "…… " There is no point whatever in talking about in paragraph 3 means that _________ A. there is no end to the talking about…… B. It is harmful to talk about…. C. It is not meaningless to talk about…… D. there is no reason for talking about 15. From the passage we can see that the writer's attitude toward "village life" is ___________A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclear Passage 4 Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A,B,C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the surprise sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects a sudden increase in crime does. Appleyard observed this by fir house in San Francisco that looked much alike and had middle-class and working-class residents. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia in Appleyard’s terminology while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) had 9,000 cars a day and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000 cars a day.Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day. Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn’t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left.Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved. And more were considering it. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.46.Appleyard’s study focuses on the influence of ______.A.traffic volume on the residentsB.rate of crime on the neighborhoodC.social classes on the transportationD.degree of pollution on the environment47.Appleyard discovered that increase in the volume of traffic ______.A.made people more violentB.would lead to increase in crimeC.was accompanied by increase in crimeD.had the same effect on people as increase in crime48.The author’s main purpose in the second paragraph is to ______.A.discuss the problem of handling trashB.suggest ways to cope with traffic problemsC.point out the disadvantages of heavy trafficD.propose an alternative system of transportation49.People on Gough Street ______.A.felt sorry that their block had been pulled downB.felt indifferent about people moving outC.thought their old community was goneD.thought mostly of themselves50.What can we learn about Franklin StreetA.It is not a nice neighborhood for childrenB.People often throw trash out as they drive througC.People there have made friends with people on OctaviD.People there own twice as many cars as people on Gough StreeText 2Imagine, if you will, the average games player. What do you see A guy who never grew up Or a nervous 18-year-old pushing buttons on his controller, lost and alone in a violent onscreen world Sorry, you lose. The average gamer is starting to look pretty much like the average person.For the first time, according to a US poll commissioned by AOL Games, roughly half of those surveyed, ages 12 to 55, are tapping away at some kind of electronic game—whether on a PC, a cell phone or another handheld device—for an average of three hours every week.The games people play say a lot about who they are. Machines like the Xbox and PlayStation 2 are largely the territory of twenty-something men, who prefer to picture themselves as sports ‘stars and racing drivers. Men 50 and older prefer military games. Teenage girls are much more likely than boys to play games on their phone, while older women make up the majority of people playing card games such as Hearts on line.Is it a good thing, all this time spent on games Or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality The AOL survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit. One in 10 gamers find it impossible to resist games; 1 in 4 admits to losing a night’s sleep to play games; and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals.But don’t think we’re all heading into a world with everyone plugged into, if not totally controlled by, his own game. Quite the contrary: gamers appear to be more engaged with reality than other kinds of couch potatoes. According to a comprehensive survey by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA-whose members, of course, want you to think video games are healthy), gamers spend an average of 23 hours a week volunteering and going to church, concerts, museums and other cultural events. More enthusiastic gamers who play 11 hours a week or more spend ever more time out in the cultural world (34 hours).51.

Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances.The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When thefemale ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest.Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest. During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own.The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers.Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female’s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors.56.We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as ______.A.it is a special kind of birdB.it lives in large desert areasC.it has special wings and legsD.it is the largest bird in the world57.Normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich produces about ______.A.12 eggs in her nestB.18 eggs in her nestC.20 eggs in her nestD.30 eggs in her nest58.The female ostrich would push some of the eggs out of her nest because ______.A.she can only hatch her own eggsB.those eggs are unlikely to be hatchedC.those eggs are to be hatched by otherD.she can only hatch a limited number of eggs59.The female ostrich identifies her own eggs by their size and ______.A.colorB.numberC.shapeD.weight60.The female ostrich lays her eggs in her neighbors' nests most probably because ______.A.her nest -is not big enoughB.she cannot protect all her eggsC.she cannot tolerate all her eggsD.her nest is not comfortable enoughPart BDirections: Read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today’s single women. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn’t have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend—a soul mate—someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn’t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men.Grise LevisonI think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you’d want tospend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk.Marry BrownIn recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them.Donna SmithI think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren’t willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order.Elizabeth BudyI think that people who have clone at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It’s also true that they’re likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.Now match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.[B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable mar riage.[C] How to balance career with family is key to success.[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn’t a piece of cake.[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.[G] Social assistance is needed for today’s single women.61.____________________62.____________________63.____________________64.____________________65.____________________Section ⅣWritingDirections: You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A1.

Many people throw litters everywhere without caring for the environment. The beautiful scenery is totally destroyed by the rubbish they throw away.With the development of our economy, people are paying less and less attention to the protection of our environment; as a result, we are facing a severe environmental problem. If we don’t protect our environment, our lives will be in great danger. We must take some measures to prevent the situation from becoming worse!For instance, we can pick up litters and put them into the dustins, and we can teach children not to throw the litters casually.As an old saying goes, "A small act can make a big difference." If everyone makes a contribution to the protection of our environment, I believe our world will be cleaner and more beautiful in the future, where green patches can be easily reached and the blue sky can always be seen clearly over our heads.。
