Fro each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should chose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1 Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage: In the past, operations were difficult. Until the middle of the eighteen fifties, surgery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest operations. This was because bacteria entered the cuts in the patients’ bodied and started infection. In some countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from infection after operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, found an answer to the problem. He used an “antiseptic” during and after operations. This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since then, surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations.

大学英语三级B级分类模拟题专项技能提高篇(-)Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive location, are increasingly popular, because they offer an inclusive price with few extras . Once you get to the airport, it's up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing—you name it—it's all arranged for you.In fact, there is no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselves . You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time traveling. Of course, there are carefully arranged stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous cities, with a polite reminder to be up and have breakfast early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before, and you may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added benefit. They can sit safely back in their seats and watch the world go by.1> When you go on a package holiday .A.there are not many additional chargesB.there is no charge for extrasC.flight times are arranged by the tour operatorD.your safe arrival is ensured2、On a coach tour it is often exhausting, because you .A.are so highly organizedB.are constantly on the moveC.don't like the other people on the tourD.don't get enough sleep3、The kind of people who go on these holidays .A.are too lazy to amuse themselvesB.expect the tour operator to amuse themC.find most of their needs suppliedD.have no contact with the local people4、For some people, traveling in an organized group .A.provides a sense of securityB.is their only opportunityC.is the only way they can get aboutD.helps them to understand themselves better5、All are added disadvantages except that .A.you know all the travelersB.you dislike the travelersC.you meet people you've never metD.you can't get away from those peopleThe fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise. Millions of individuals became engaged in a variety of aerobic activities, and literally thousands of health spas developed around the country to capitalize on this emerging interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females. A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most major cities . However, their focus was not on aerobics, but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular mass, strength, and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts . These fitness spas did not seem to benefit financially form the aerobic fitness movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programs offered few, if any, health benefits . In recent years, however, weight training has again become increasingly popular for males and for females. Many current programs focus not only on developing muscular strength and endurance but on aerobic fitness as well.12、According tolife for a achild is ifmuch isA.B.C.D.the second paragraph, the writer thinks thatchild is comparatively easy always lovedwhatever he does given to a child, heonly children are interested inAfter a child grows up, heA.B.C.D.will havehas to becan stillshould bemust do something in returnlifelittle time playingsuccessful in finding ask forhelp in time of trouble able totake care of himselfa jobHistorically, most physical-fitness tests have usually included measures ofmuscular strength and endurance, not for health-related reasons, but primarily because such fitness components have been related to performance in athletics. However, in recent years, evidence has shown that training programs designed primarily to improve muscular strength and endurance might also offer some health benefits as well. The American College of Sports Medicine now recommends that weight training be part of a total fitness program for healthy Americans. Increased participation in such training is one of the specific physical activity and fitness objectives of Healthy People 2000.

Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and happiest person is one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents z he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has a good health, he can have the great happiness of building up forhimself his own position in society.13、Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.People are often satisfied with their life.B.Life is less interesting for old people.C.Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D.Adults should no longer rely on others.14、The main idea of the passage is .A.life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB.young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC.childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's lifeD.one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life15、The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss .A.examples of successful young menB.how to build up one's position in societyC.j oys and pains of old peopleD.what to do when one has problems in lifeVisitors exploring one of Britain's many historic buildings might expect to see beautiful obj ects and learn more about history. What they won' t expect is to meet one of the former residents, and to be able to talk to them about their life and times . But, don' t worry. Although many old buildings are said to be frequently visited by ghosts （幽灵）,these people are not ghosts at all.All across Britain historic sites will be brought to life by real people. They will be dressed in period costumes （clothes wore in an earlier time in history）and will recreate life as it was once lived at different times during Britain's history. Activities like these are called "living history"z and have become increasingly popular in recent years.An organization named English Heritage, which maintains historic buildings and sites across England, will organize over 500 living history events, ranging from reenactment （再次展现）of battles to traditional story-telling for children.The people who dress up in costumes and take part in these events come from all kinds of background. Some are trained actors, while others do it as a hobby. What they all have in common, however, is that they don' t simply "act". Instead, they learn about every aspect of period they are bringing to life—everything from the way people behaved to the way they spoke.16、What may a visitor expect to see in a "living history" activity?A.Historic events brought to life . B . Oldbuildings visited by ghosts .C. Beautiful objects.D. Local residents.17> One of the main purposes of English Heritage is to help visitors .A. to protect ancient buildingsB. to explore ancient battlefieldsC. to learn about British historyD. to meet former residents18、English Heritage will do all the following EXCEPT .A.taking care of historic buildingsB.keeping historic sites in good conditionanizing many living history eventsD.having all visitors dressed in costumes19、The people who take part in a "living history" event must .A.play roles like actorsB.have a common interestC.know everything about the period brought to lifeD.behave and speak the way the local residents do20、The best title for this passage should be .A. Exploring Historic SitesB. Tour in Britain TodayC. Experiencing HistoryD. 500 Living History EventsRainfall is one of the primary elements in climate and a factor of tremendous importance in the distribution of plant and animal life. Clouds contain huge numbers of tiny drops of moisture. Raindrops are formed when these tiny drops are enlarged, first by moisture from the surrounding air condensing on them and then by combining with other drops during their falling down. Raindrops vary in size from about 0.02 inches to as much as 0.33 inches in thunderstorms . From the time they leave the bottom of the cloud, they change into vapor and, if the cloud is high, the air warm and dry, and theraindrops small, so that they fall slowly, they may become vapor completely before they reach the earth.There are thousands of stations throughout the world where rainfall observations and records are made. Included in such records is the fall of snow, reduced to its equivalent in rain. Rainfall is measured in terms of （按照）inches z by means of a simple instrument or by more complex electricalor weighing devices placed where eddies （逆流）do not get in the way of the normal fail of the raindrops. In addition to the daily, monthly, and annual totals, the depth of individual rainfalls and their intensity and other related facts are recorded.21> Raindrops become the largest when .A. they leave the cloudB. they fall slowlyC. there is a thunderstormD. there is warm air22、It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that .A.raindrops vary in size with the air conditionsB.raindrops fall slowly in cool airC.rainfall differs in quantity from place to placeD.rainfall differs in quantity from year to year23> The word "equivalent" in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to .A.reasonable amount C. similar amountB.limited amount D. corresponding amount24、What is NOT included in rainfall records?A.other related facts C. the depth of rainfallB.the size of rainfall D. the intensity of rainfall25、This passage is mainly related to .A. rainfallB. raindropsC. thunderstormD. climate答案:1> A 2、B 3、D 4、A 5、A 6、 B 7、8、C 9、B 10、D 11> A 12、D 13、A 14、D 15、B 16、A 17、C 18、D 19、C 20、C 21、C 22、A 23、D 24、B 25、A。

You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In Washington D. C., 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.Originally the White House was gray and was called the presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation's new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L' Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L' Enfant then planned the city. The president's home was an important part of the plan,A contest was held to pick a design for the president's home. An architect named James Hobart won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs. Adams did not-really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm!In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president's home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States.

The new presidential home was painted white to ________.A) cover the marks of fire B) attract tourist from FranceD) to please Mrs. John Adams D) keep it warm in winterTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.Man finds living together with his own species(物种) difficult enough and living together with other species almost impossible. Our usual solution is to kill off anything that get in our way. Even on those rare occasions when we do enter into a relationship with another species, it is heavily biased(带有倾向) in our favor. The other species benefits only when it suits our own interests. Our attempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly with giving orders in our own language and having them obeyed. Probably our best attempt has been the whistle language that is used in the shepherd-sheepdog relationship. This is a system that is natural to neither species, but one that both can understand. Its only fault lies in fact that the bias is still there--the dog cannot whistle for the man.But now comes news of a piece of research that promises, for the first time, to open up two-way communication between man and another species.At the University of Nevada in the western United States, animated(活跃的)conversations are being heldwith a young female chimpanzee (黑猩猩)called Washoe. Allen and Beatrice Gardener have succeeded in doing this because they have used an entirely new approach, an approach based on the natural abilities of the chimpanzee. Past attempts to communicate with chimpanzees have failed because the researchers tried to make their animals use a vocal language.41. According to the writer, when man finds it impossible to live together with other species, he usually _________.A) tries to communicate with themB) tries to teach them a languageC) sets up a relationship with themD) wipes them out42. According to the writer; we communicate with animals in an attempt to ________.A) set up a relationship with themB) make them do what we wantC) get along well with themD) teach them a language43. The writer implies that the shepherd-sheepdog whistle language is still biased because ________.A) it can only be used to give ordersB) it is not natural for both shepherd and sheepdogC) it is a one-way communication approachD) it can only be used between man and dog44. Allen and Beatrice Gardener managed to communicate with the chimpanzee by ________.A) training the chimpanzee to learn human language in an entirely new methodB) creating a language both man and the chimpanzee were able to useC) using animal' s vocal language which the chimpanzee was able to understandD) learning the chimpanzee's language with an entirely new approach45. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A) in the future the chimpanzee can learn language like human beingsB) in the past researchers taught a chimpanzee words of our natural languageC) man and animals can get along well if they can communicate with each otherD) the chimpanzee can communicate well with our human beingsTask 3Directions: The following is a passage about contract. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it (No. 46 to No. 50).You should write your answers briefly (in no more than three words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.A contract is an agreement between two or more people in which one person agrees to do something by a specified date in return for something done by the other. Usually the contract is a written document signed and dated by both parties. It must state clearly the consideration, that is, what is to be given or done by one person in exchange for what is given or done by the other. If one person does what was promised and the other does not, the other may be sued in court and required by court order to make good. He or she may also be required to pay for*damages suffered as a result of the failure to perform. The things to be done by both parties must be stated in definite terms or the court will hold that contract is too Vague and general to be enforced. Similarly, the time period within which the work is to be done must be definite or the court will say that the document is not a contract.Task 4 Directions: The following is a list of terms about meeting.

Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally.. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille ( a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, ,Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.11. Which of the following best summarize this passage?A) When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communicationB) Everybody uses only one form of communication.C) Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreignersD) Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest12. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) There are many forms of communication in existence todayB) Verbalization is the most common form of communicationC) The deaf and mute do not need sign language for communicationD) Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by language13. Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blindpeople?A) Picture sign B) Braille C) Body language D) Signalflags14. How many different forms of communication are mentioned here?A)2-4 B)5-7 C)8-10 D) over 1015. Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used internationallyas it doesn’t represent _____________.A) Spellings B) whole words C) ideas D) feelings Passage 2College brings together people from all walks of life. There are so many different types of people in the world but if you go to a college campus, you are sure to find at least one of every kind. The great part about being here with so many different people is that you get to interact with some interesting characters and see how to deal with them. You will meet the people you dread the most, the smart –ass, the brain, or the unique spirit, but no matter who it is that is your worst nightmare to be around you will always be paired up with them in a group project. When you get into the real world you are not going to be able to pick your boss or coworkers. Interacting with these people in college and living with different roommates will help you learn how to cooperate with the people in life you find so unpleasant. College life is fun. The fact that I have been here for a short time just means it has not yet been a life changing experience to me. If I were to give any tips on how to survive, it would not be how to survive college, but how to survive life. I would have to say that one should be outgoing and live life to the fullest. Meet new people whenever you can because they just may be a major influence in your life. Also, get your work done before you go out and party. Lastly, I would have to say, in life if you ever feel lost or alone, talk to someone about it. Everyone gets depressed at times in their life and there is always someone who will listen to your problems.16.What is the theme of the passage?A) Relationships in college B)Homework in collegeC) Freedom in collegeD)Party in college17. What does the author say about group projects?A) They are always unpleasant. B) They are always difficult.C) Partners may not cooperate.D) Partners may be lazy18. Why does the author recommend meeting many new people?A) They may become your best friends B) They may influence your lifeC) They may help you someday D) They make your life more fun.19.

What does the author say to do if you’re depressed?A) Go somewhere by yourself B)Talk to someone about itC) Try to forget about it D) See a psychologist immediatelyPassage 3Our family is trying to decide where to go for our vacation this summer. Our son, Tom, wants to go to Yellow Stone Park again to see the bears. We did that last summer and what an experience it was! When we got there, we put up our tent and went to explore. As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out and then we saw a bear enter our camp. Tom wanted his father to chase himaway. His father said, "No, it's dangerous to chase a bear, and don't let him chase you!" Susie said"What shall we do? Maybe we ought to climb a tree." Tom said, "No, we've got to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent." "Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat." Susie suggested. Then I said, "How are you going to get the honey? It's in the tent."We watched the bear enter the tent and heard him upset everything inside. "It's foolish for us to try to catch him," said my husband, "leave him alone and wait for him to come out." We waited, but the bear stayed inside. We had to sleep in the car.21. The family have decided to go camping in the vacation this summer.A.TB.F22. Susie saw the bear first.A.TB.F23.
