三、TASK 2(总题数：1，分数：-1.00)Some cities have planned their transportation systems for car owners. That is what Los Angeles did. Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation．This decision was suitable for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward．Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead，people live in houses with gardens.In Los Angeles, most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space. So many buildings where people work also have parking lots.Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District(CBD). If a city has a CBD, crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work, they need lots of road space．So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in between the districts. This required more roads and parking spaces．Some people defend this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future.（分数：-1.00）(1).According to the passage，Los Angeles is a city where ______．A．there is no public transportation systemB．more money is spent on highways for carsC．more money is spent on public transportation systemsD．public transportation is more developed than in other cities（分数：-0.20）A.B. √C.解析：[解析] 第一段最后一句话“Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation”，意思是：洛杉矶决定为汽车修建更多的公路，而不是把钱投资做公共交通运输。

(这个城市是横向发展而不是纵向发展)”的解释说明，意思是：洛杉矶决不建很多高层公寓楼，相反，人们主要建的是带花园的房子。

第一篇 Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee?When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, theyre usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy(树冠)of taller indigenous(土生土长的)trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birdsnest and hide from predators(捕食者)in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as shade grown and bird friendly. Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But were paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think its worth it.31.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee.B. Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce.C. Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee.D. People should buy shade-grown coffee.32.The function of the word Traditionally in Paragraph 2is to show_____.A. the positive effects of coffee.B. a change of coffee growth.C. something that is the most important.D. how coffee production used to be.33.What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about?A. More insects.B. Better quality coffee.C. Larger farms.D. Higher profits.34.How do farmers find more land for growing full-sun coffee?A. They buy more land from other farmers.B. They cut down trees.C. They move to another country.D. They turn grassland into farmland.35.The full-sun method may affect the followingEXCEPT_____ full sunA. insects.B. air.C. birdsD. humans其次篇 Washoe Learned American Sign LanguageAn animal that influenced scientific thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language. Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966.In 1969, the Gardners described Washoes progress in a scientific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example, Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like, Who is coming to play? Once the news about Washoe spread, many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.However, critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers. They said she had never developed true language skills. Even now, there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory, and perform the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoes keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardeners. He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg, Washington. There, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees, which are still alive.Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoer provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today, there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.Debate continues about chimps understanding of human communication. Yet, one thing is sure-Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence36. The Gardeners’ experiment with Washoe_____.A. began in 1969B. won a big prizeC. lasted three yearsD. influenced primate research37. The second paragraph mainly discusses_____.A. a report about Washoe’s progress in learning sign languageB. the whole direction of primate researchC. new primate researches conducted by many language scientificD. an experiment with Washoe at a research center in Africa.38. The Gardeners’ experiment with Washoe was criticized because______.A. just ask some simple questionB. only copy teachers’ sign languageC. only memorize about 250wordsD. just repeat short sentences.39. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Roger Fouts taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees.B. Washoe was the first chimp to use American Sign LanguageC. A chimpanzee died of natural causes in Africa at aresearch centerD. Nowadays there are still lots of scientists experimenting with chimpanzees40. We can draw a conclusion from the last paragraph that_____.A. Whether chimps can learn a human language remains unansweredB. primate have the ability to speak a languageC. animals cannot learn a human signD. Washoe is as intelligent as humans第三篇 Moderate Earthquake Strikes EnglandA moderate earthquake struck parts of southeast England on28 April 2023,toppling chimneys from houses and rousing residents from their beds. Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County. One woman suffered minor head and neck injuries.It felt as if the whole house was being slid across like a fun-fair ride, said the woman.The British Geological Survey said the 4.3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. and was centered under the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the entrance to theChannel Tunnel.Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds.I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me. said Hendrick van Eck,27,of Canterbury about 60 miles southeast of London.I then heard the sound of cracking, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It felt as if someone was at the end of my bed hopping up and down.There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year, but they are rare in Britain. The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2023 when a4.8-magnitude quake struck the central England city of Birmingham.The countrys strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 1931,measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale. British Geological Survey scientist Roger Musson said the quake took place on 28 April in an area that had seen several of the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in France.Musson predicted that it was only a matter of time before another earthquake struck this part of England. However, people should not be scared too much by this prediction, Musson said, as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place. This would allow time for people to evacuate and reduce damage to the minimum.41. The biggest earthquake took place in Britain_____.A in 1931B in 1580C in 2023D in 202342.

大学英语三级B级（阅读）练习试卷1(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.Some cities have planned their transportation systems for car owners. That is what Los Angeles did. Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation．This decision was suitable for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward．Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead，people live in houses with gardens. In Los Angeles, most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space. So many buildings where people work also have parking lots. Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District(CBD). If a city has a CBD, crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work, they need lots of road space．So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in between the districts. This required more roads and parking spaces．Some people defend this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future.6．According to the passage，Los Angeles is a city where ______．A．there is no public transportation systemB．more money is spent on highways for carsC．more money is spent on public transportation systemsD．public transportation is more developed than in other cities正确答案：B解析：第一段最后一句话“Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation”，意思是：洛杉矶决定为汽车修建更多的公路，而不是把钱投资做公共交通运输。

大学英语三级B级-专项技能提高篇(一)_真题-无答案
大学英语三级B级-专项技能提高篇(一)(总分100,考试时间90分钟)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.Historically, most physical-fitness tests have usually included measures of muscular strength and endurance, not for health-related reasons, but primarily because such **ponents 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. National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives.6. The word "spas" in Para. 1 most probably refers to ______.A. sports activitiesB. places for physical exerciseC. recreation centersD. athletic training programs7. Early fitness spas were intended mainly for ______.A. the promotion of aerobic exerciseB. endurance and muscular developmentC. the improvement of women's figuresD. better performance in aerobic dancing8. What was the attitude of doctors towards weight training in health improvement?A. Positive.B. Indifferent.C. Negative.D. Cautious.9. People were given physical fitness tests in order to find out ______.A. how well they could do in athleticsB. what their health condition was likeC. what kind of fitness center was suitable for themD. whether they were fit for aerobic exercise10. Recent studies have suggested that weight training ______.A. has become an essential part of people's lifeB. may well affect the health of the traineesC. will attract more people in the days to comeD. contributes to health improvement as wellHow often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. 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 **fortably. 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, 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 for himself his own position in society.11. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that ______.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life12. After a child grows up, he ______.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself13. 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. joys 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 objects 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", 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 **e 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. Old buildings 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 battle fieldsC. to learn about British historyD. to meet former residents18.

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 the raindrops small, so that they fall slowly, they may become **pletely 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, by means of a simple instrument or by **plex electrical or 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.

This passage is mainly related to ______.A. rainfallB. raindropsC. thunderstormD. climate。
